More About New Day

New Day Foundation for Families is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit co-founded by Michael and Gina (Kell) Spehn, in memory of their late spouses, Matt Kell and Cathy Spehn, who each lost a valiant battle with cancer. The mission of New Day is to improve treatment outcomes by alleviating the financial burden of cancer.

Through a growing network of hospitals across Michigan, New Day works with social workers and financial navigators to effectively qualify families and begin providing vital financial and emotional resources. New Day has successfully helped hundreds of patients maintain medical compliance and improve treatment outcomes.

The origins of New Day are told in Michael and Gina’s New York Times bestselling memoir, The Color of Rain, which also became a Hallmark Original movie in 2014.

Gina Kell Spehn recently sat down with Jackie Paige on WWJ News Radio 950. In this interview, Gina discusses the financial toxicity of cancer and highlights BSP Law’s annual charity event on Thursday, July 25.

Help us reach our goal of 

BSP Law Charitable Foundation hosted “An Evening for a New Day” on September 8, 2021. The event benefited New Day Foundation for Families, a non-profit organization with the mission of alleviating the financial burden of cancer. During the event, we had the honor of hearing Deputy K9 Officer Bob Loken talk about his battle with cancer, as well as his connection with 9-year-old cancer warrior Stephen Hohauser. It is with great sadness that we share that Bob passed away on January 8, 2022.

We send our deepest condolences to the Loken family and are grateful for the opportunity to have heard Bob speak about his journey. Check out the video below to hear Bob speak at our event last fall.
